You should be able to view copies of all the British Stds at your local main library. They may not have hard copies but will be able to view them online. Some libraries (eg worcestrershire) allow you to view them online at home when you have a library membership number. You can only read them at home so you can't print a copy but i think that in the library they may be able to produce a print out of relevant bits (they used to be able to photocopy when they had hard copies so i'm assuming this).

Shocking workmanship there! I'm with the others I do hope this cowboy hasn't been paid, I recognise these tiles as well, metallic modular - north of £150 a Sqm. Speak to the company that carried out the work and see if they will refund the money for you to re-purchase the tiles and get a real tile fixer to sort this out for you, as again. Like the others have said this was done by a chancer.
The grout is what has scratched the metal on this particular mosaic it's a sandy floor grout that has been used not the required super fine one like for instance Mapei's Keracolour SF 0.
my heart goes out to you and others like you who have paid good money to have these improvements made to be left with expensive tiles that look like a pigs ear.

Unfortunately some tilers are chancers !!!!
Kitchen company subcontracts work to fitter who in turn subcontracts to tiler etc. Usually the payment is down to the bone and they don't fix walls! Kitchen company blames fitter, they blame tiler, tiler doesn't care cause he/she's on a cheap price.
The people who suffer are the customers or good tilers who are trying to do things right !! Building trade is a rat race at times sadly !!!
Most tilers on here would have refused the job, unfortunately a lot of tilers don't.... so understand what charlie1 means !
